Mr Smyth asked the Minister for Business and Economic Development, upon notice, on 16 February 2011:
(1) In relation to ACT Treasury’s Summary of Labor Election Commitments dated 17 October 2008, has the Government implemented its 2008 election commitment in relation to funding a feasibility study into the establishment of a Confucius Institute and increasing its support for the ACT Honorary Ambassador Program; if not, why not; if so, for (a) 2009-10 and (b) the period 1 July to 31 December 2010, what work was undertaken towards delivery of this commitment and how much was spent on that work.
(2) For (a) the period 1 January to 30 June 2011 and (b) 2011-12, what work projects and programs are planned to be undertaken towards delivery of this commitment and how much money is committed for each project or program.
(3) If actual and committed expenditure for (a) 2009-10, (b) 2010-11 and (c) 2011-12 did not equate to the Treasury costings for each year, why not.
(4) What evaluations have been undertaken of the Confucius Institute and ACT Honorary Ambassador Program and can the Minister provide a copy of this evaluation.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Details of the implementation of Government programs are routinely provided in relevant Budget papers, Annual Reports and the mid-year Budget Review.
Further advice is made available to members through the Budget Estimates and Annual Report hearings processes.
Relevant information is also available in the Mid-Term Report on Achievement of Election Commitments released in October 2010. The Report is available at www.chiefminister.act.gov.au/uploads/ot/election_commitments_report.pdf
